Does that mean that you uncheck all the available tracks that can be
created in the synth rack properties dialog?
Never thought of that.  
Cool,

When inserting an instance of the tts1 or any synth, you get that dialog
box that asks, among other things,  whether you want midi & audio tracks
inserted along with the synth.  I don't bother adding these tracks.
Instead, using the normal template with 16 midi tracks already
available, I set the tts1 as the output device.  Then I go to track 17
which is the first of eight audio tracks in the normal template and set
the input as TTS1, and the output as MASTER.  Then using tracks
properties dialog for the individual MIDI tracks, I set up the bank &
patches I want.  Notice that each of the 16 midi tracks using that tts1
use track 17 as the audio output track.  Each midi track has its own
channel# as well.  Once an instance of tts1 is installed, you can use
that one instance in all 16 midi tracks with only 1 audio output track.

 
Phew!  Hope that helps.

So do I create multiple bracks of the TTS1, one track for each
instrument, and then assign each instrument its own unique channel,
reserving Channel 10 for drums?  Or is there some way to insert only one
instance of the TTS1 but then, instead of inserting a new DXI for each
additional track/instrument, creating those new instruments/tracks from
the first DXI I inserted?  (I've been inserting a new DXI for each new
instrument/track.)

Well, in the case of tts1, that is a multitimbral synth.  You can just
assign other midi tracks to the port that is created when you insert the
tts1 and set it to another channel.

Hi,
 
Is there some other way to set up tracks?  I thought you had to have a
separate inserted DXI track for each instrument anyway?  (Now I KNOW I'm
missing something!)

Stephanie:
If you want to have different instruments on each track, you have to
have each track set to a separate midi channel unless you are inserting
a separate instance of tts for each track, which would use up a lot of
system resources.

I have been setting all my TTS1 tracks to Channel 1.  Should I assign
different channels for each individual track?  If so, why is this?  It's
been working with everything using channel 1, but I could be missing
something ..
